Hedge wizard

A hedge wizard or a hedge witch is a practicioner who acquired their powers ad-hoc from outside of the Folly[1][2], or had retired out to the countryside (Nightingale called this rusticating).[3] Nightingale also called those who used the Folly only as a club to stay at while in town, away from their parsonages, estates and university positions, hedge wizards.[4]
